I am starting the year on a low. I have had a few problems over the Christmas break, mostly with my back and so I have not been able to do much.  I am still waiting for news about my  flat which I have been trying to sell which seems to have run into quite a few obstacles along the way so I am still in a state of limbo basically which seems to be no nearer to resolving. This has really sapped my energy to a great extent now to the point today that I really felt no urge whatsoever to get out of bed.  I haven’t felt that bad for a long time.However I do have to get outside and get on the bus today so off we go. Fortunately my back has  survived the trip and I have not ground to a complete halt.
January is a miserable time of year though. Its dull and its wet and its generally a bit shite.
I was born in January so its OK for me to say that though.

Good luck to them.

Best wishes to all and may your hopes and aspirations be realised

2017 has for me personally had a lot of unexpected twists and turns along the way, and I suspect that 2018 will continue in the same way.  We plant the seeds, throw the dice and hope that we can harvest our dreams.
